<p>I am helping a designer friend up-date her professional CV. She can’t touch-type, and has credits going back to the '80s. It is a nightmare. Her most recent records are handwritten, and use a lot of abbreviations for names of plays/productions, theatrical companies, performance locations, directors, etc. Some of her older records can be recovered from previous versions of her resume. Those records have fuller versions of titles and venue names, but are missing information about directors.</p>
<p>Do yourself a favor, and set up a spreadsheet in Excel with at least these headings:
Days
Month
Year
Title
Organization
Venue
Director
Role/Position</p>
<p>Then, be absolutely religious about recording the information. When you need a record later on, you can sort this information by whatever criteria are important, and you can convert it to a Word or other type of document as needed.</p>
<p>And, if you can’t touch-type yet, learn how to do it. You will save yourself tons of grief because you will be able to maintain your own records and you won’t have to rely on the goodwill of others.</p>
